Using Power On and Off, Reset, and Halt Functions

The RMC power {on, off}, halt {in, out}, and reset commands perform
the same functions as the buttons on the operator control panel.
Power On and Power Off
The RMC power on command powers the system on, and the power off com-
mand powers the system off. The Power button on the OCP, however, has
precedence.
•
If the system has been powered off with the Power button, the RMC cannot
power the system on. If you enter the power on command, the message
"Power button is OFF" is displayed, indicating that the command will have
no effect.
•
If the system has been powered on with the Power button, and the power
off command is used to turn the system off, you can toggle the Power but-
ton to power the system back on.
When you issue the power on command, the terminal exits RMC and recon-
nects to the server's COM1 port.
RMC> power on
Returning to COM port
RMC> power off
